This was our second visit to the Chris Paul hotel, and we were not disappointed. Our room was clean and spacious, and we enjoyed the swimming pool where there are plenty of loungers to relax in. The hotel and grounds are extremely peaceful and are set in a citrus grove. The staff were helpful and friendly and gave us good advice about the rack railway. The rail trip is definitely worth it, with great views of the gorge.

We also walked to the sea (about 15 minutes walk) and had a lovely meal in one of the waterfront tavernas. The taverna in the village is only a few minutes walk away from the hotel and is also very pleasant, with tables in a shady courtyard. There's no written menu, but the owner takes you into the kitchen to choose, and the prices are reasonable.

The hotel has rooms with normal size and clean enough. The problem is that all rooms are the same since hotel's opening in mid 80s with the addition of a/c. The breakfast that was included in rate was two piece of cake 5 piece of bread and bars of marmalade plus filter coffee.

We totally agree with all the good reviews, this is a little gem of a hotel tucked away in lemon groves in Diakopto. It is a short stroll to the railway station, for the rack and pinion railway and also the main Corinth/Patras station. The swimming pool is just lovely with comfortable sun beds around and nicely secluded behind the hotel. The rooms are good, with comfortable beds and lovely crisp white cotton sheets. Despite the poor rating in the Lonely Planet guide this is the best hotel in the area and has a good and friendly staff, helpful and charming.

A quiet place to stay in the little town of Diakofto in the Pelopponese on the Gulf of Corinth. Situated just off the town centre with parking and a pool surrounded by orange trees. Great for visiting the mountains and gorges and with some good restaurents and a pebble beach if you want it. Try Costas for excellent food or the Fish restaurent opposite the harbour. If you want a real treat try the famous Rack and Pinion railway uop the gorge to the town at the top.

The owner Paula is delightful, extremely helpful and speaks excellent English.
